Pup's first hunt
« on: October 18, 2009, 09:23:57 AM »
I took my lab out for her first hunt today.  I was hoping to get a duck or two off of the pond, but none came in so her first attempt at a real bird retrieve was a goose.  She did pretty well, but couldn't really figure out how to pick them up.  I now have some goose wings for her to practice with.  Here are a couple pictures, it was a fun morning!

That is a nice looking lab. Good to see you are using her for what she is intended for.

Great looking lab you got there!

Glad she had a good time......

just curious, how old is she, and how much does she weigh?  Just trying to get an idea how fast mine will grow up. :tup:

there is nothing in the world as gorgeous as seeing your dog doing what they have been bred to do for hundreds of generations....  I fall apart with joy and pride every single time my dogs are retrieving to me.  I mean to the point of giddyness... I get a lot of grief from the judges when this happens at hunt tests, but who cares.  Ain't nothing as awesome. Your pup looks AWESOME!
